Achieve Your Healthiest Weight - Rooted Nutrition Therapies
Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Becky Bell, Co-Founder of Rooted Nutrition Therapies, located in Denver, CO, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Rooted Nutrition Therapies is a team of dietitians that helps women lose weight and feel amazing in their bodies without all the food rules and restrictions. We believe that the dieting industry has gotten it wrong. For years we've been told to just eat less and move more, but that outdated advice has left women feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and discouraged. We help women achieve their healthiest weight for life by optimizing their metabolism and developing sustainable, nourishing habits.
Tell us about yourself
I am a pastor's wife, mom of 3, and lover of coffee and long walks with my pup. I earned a Bachelor of Science in dietetics from Olivet Nazarene University and a Master of Science in human nutrition from the University of Alabama. I have been practicing as a dietitian since 2007 and have worked in a variety of fields, including chronic kidney disease, organ transplant, professional nutrition writing, GI health, and weight loss.
I started Rooted Nutrition Therapies with my good friend and fellow dietitian, Lindsey Baker because we knew we realized so many women were struggling with stubborn weight gain, fatigue, and yo-yo dieting. We saw lots of women looking for a solution that would work for them on Google or from online programs, but they weren’t actually getting the help they needed to achieve sustainable results. And many of them are dismissed by their doctors when they ask for help.
As Registered Dietitians also trained in functional medicine, we’ve successfully helped countless women gain freedom from digestive issues, restore their energy levels, and achieve sustainable fat loss. We love seeing women get off the dieting hamster wheel and truly feel amazing in their bodies.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
One of my biggest accomplishments as a business owner is building a step-by-step framework that helps women get results without feeling lost or overwhelmed. There is so much nutrition information available on the internet that it can be overwhelming. Developing a method that helps women turn all that information into action is something I'm proud of.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
One of the hardest things about being a business owner is setting boundaries and protecting my work-life balance. As an entrepreneur that's passionate about the work I do, it's easy to throw myself fully into my work and neglect my own self-care. Practicing what I preach is something I have to be intentional about every day!
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Don't wait until you're "ready." Taking messy action is better than no action.
- Decide now what you want your ideal week to look like and build your business around those goals.
- Be authentic. Your ideal customers will connect with the real you and want to buy from you.
